Dark, crowded, dirty bar. The tvs are set too loud, you can’t hear the person sitting next to you. What killed me the most was the bartender and kitchens staff were clearly high on something. The bartender didn’t acknowledge my presence for 20 minutes and walked right past me (sitting at the bar) repeatedly until I flagged him down. Then he couldn’t even function. Trying to order was like trying to explain calculus to a toddler. “Huh, what? Huh? What? What?” Even then he still got my order wrong. I ordered a vodka tonic, and then wandered off to the end of the bar before I could specify which vodka. Then proceeded to make a gin and tonic. When I sent it back because I am allergic to gin, he made a vodka and soda (still didn’t let me specify which vodka). He asked me for a card, and then asked me if I wanted to open a tab, and I said “yes, open a tab” and he ran the check and when I said “um, I wanted to open a tab” he just looked at me was like “haha, sorry man” (I’m a woman…), and never bothered to take the card back to open a tab, and just left it sitting there with the premature check. After 30 minutes the kitchen staff finally brought out my happy hour burger (it was not crowded and people were not ordering foods, so it should not have taken so long), the guy reeked of weed and just handed me a burger, no condiments, no utensils, no napkins. I had to ask him three times to bring me those, and each time he just brought back one thing. The price for the meal was higher than what was on their menu bar above the bar. This place is trash and the owner should at least attempt to hire some employees that aren’t...

If I could give 0 stars I would. However I'm stuck with one. I came in today with my wife who is a professor and two of her college students, I was highly upset of the lack of service to me and my wife. We are black while the two white Male students that were with us were served their order promptly. Me and the students ordered burgers while my wife ordered hot wings. Two burgers came out to the table which the third being mine didn't come and neither did my wife wings. The students waited patiently for the rest of the table to be served before eating. After 20 minutes passed with no food for my wife or myself we let them know they should stop waiting on us and go eat. Eventually they did start. The waitress originally told us the rest of the food was coming right out. Which wasn't true. After 15 minutes the order would be out right away. After the students were finished eating they said they had to recook our food. I know they never cooked our food and hadn't planned on cooking...
